[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM and have been one for close to 10 years. I would advice you not to leave your job, because I am sensing that you do not have the kind of finances right now that is conducive to leaving the work place. It is not about being able to pay the bills on one salary. It is about being able to afford a house, afford insurance, afford college and afford retirement on one salary in this region. Divorce is a real possibility for many women who advocate being a WOHM, but I think that women in stable, solid and happy relationships know where they stand. I will presume that you have one of those marriages and divorce is not a concern. You can give yourself piece of mind by having life and disability insurance. I think you need to seriously think what you can do (training, change of career, other streams of revenue) so that you can work from home. Once you are established, you can leave your 9 to 5 job.
